Dear Work Team members,

The public comment forum on the GNSO Council procedure recommendations ended
yesterday.  There was only one comment and it was not substantive.  I have
produced a summary and analysis that is available here:
http://forum.icann.org/lists/gcot-csg-recommendations/msg00001.html.  In
particular, the comment did not address the recommendations for changes to
the GNSO Council Operating Procedures.  It related to the ICANN comment
process in general.

The next step is for the GNSO Council to approve the changes to the
operating procedures.  Staff will prepare a draft motion for consideration.
Since the motion covers both the GCOT recommendations and the report from
the Constituency and Stakeholder Group Operations Work Team Olga Cavalli has
agreed to submit it to the Council.  However, I will also share the language
with you.  I hope that we will have a draft ready tomorrow.  Motions must be
submitted not later that 28 July for the Council meeting on 26 August.

Best regards,

Juli
